In addition to Stone Cauldron Alms and the Qinglu Academy, the Ning Clan, the East Sea Ye Clan, the Never Falling Geezer Gong Clan and other clans were greatly shaken that day.

That day, Mind Cleansing Peak was also buzzing with activity.

In the half a year before Lin Xun’s return, except for Stone Cauldron Alms, the Qinglu Academy, the Ye Clan, the Ning Clan and the Gong Clan, almost no other clans wanted to set foot onto Mind Cleansing Peak.

After all, Lin Xun was believed to be dead. Once the tree toppled, the monkeys scattered. There was no other person worthy of attention on Mind Cleansing Peak anymore.

During that period, Mind Cleansing Peak was in a state of isolation. They seemed to be surrounded by enemies, especially since the collateral branches of the Lin Clan began to suppress them with the support of the Zuo Clan and the Qin Clan.

Under such circumstances, how would the other great clans not gloat over their misfortune? Why would they want to be linked with Mind Cleansing Peak in any way?

Even Stone Cauldron Alms, the Qinglu Academy, the Ning Clan and the Ye Clan were only helping Mind Cleansing Peak in secret.

The reason for that was simple. They only cared about Lin Xun. If Lin Xun was dead, then who would care whether Mind Cleansing Peak was in trouble or not?

It wasn’t that they were selfishly concerned about gaining advantages for themselves, but that Mind Cleansing Peak was different from other forces in that it only grew stronger because of Lin Xun’s influence.

Lin Xun could be considered the soul of Mind Cleansing Peak. His good and bad were directly related to the life and death of Mind Cleansing Peak!

The reality was cruel. It was naive to think that a clan could depend on others for help.

However, Mind Cleansing Peak was no longer desolated as it had been for the past six months. It was buzzing with activity.

Early in the morning, different clans successively sent representatives to visit Mind Cleansing Peak.

Some were former business partners of the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan, while some came purely to confirm the news about Lin Xun’s return.

Clans that had secretly been coveting Mind Cleansing Peak and the wealth of the Lin Clan in the past six months started to feel uneasy and brought over all sorts of valuable gifts as an apology. They were worried that Lin Xun would raise his slaughter knife again and aim it at them.

However, how would the Lin Clan care about them at such a time?

Lin Zhong announced that the Lin Clan had affairs to deal with and refused to see any guests. They coldly turned away the representatives of the major forces.

That only made the clans more certain about one thing.

“Lin Xun must have come back. Otherwise, how would the Lin Clan be so stubborn?”

The forces that had offended Mind Cleansing Peak in the past six months started to panic.

While those on neutral terms with the Mind Cleansing Peak were secretly glad that they hadn’t done anything in the past six months. Otherwise, things would have been difficult for them.

“I wonder how the Zuo Clan and the Qin Clan will react.” Many clans were most concerned about the same thing.

After all, they all knew about the unresolvable enmity between Mind Cleansing Peak and the two high clans.

More than ten years ago, the Zuo Clan and the Qin Clan had taken a huge chunk of the Lin Clan’s wealth and properties during a bloody tragedy.

Even now, the Zuo and Qin Clans maintained a very clear stance. They supported the collateral branches of the Lin Clan to fight for the power of Mind Cleansing Peak.

Undoubtedly, they wanted to completely swallow Mind Cleansing Peak.

However, everything changed after Lin Xun’s return. His bloody massacre forced the collateral branches of the Lin Clan to surrender and join the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan.

Under such circumstances, what would the Zuo Clan and the Qin Clan do?

That was everyone’s focus of attention.

……

The Great Mind Cleansing Hall in Mind Cleansing Peak.

Lin Xun was sitting on the main seat with a calm and indifferent expression.

He had stayed up all night to deal with affairs related to the three collateral branches.

“Young Master, our forces have taken over the West Creek, Cloud Weight and Flying Peak Lin Clans. We are still at the initial stage, and it will take some time for us to fully integrate.”

“In addition, we are still counting up the properties under their control. We are short of manpower so we can only take over step by step.”

“We haven’t encountered any obstacles so far. After what happened last night, it looks like the three branches have completely given up their will to resist. As for whether there are still some traitors unwilling to surrender, we will need to investigate further to know,” Lin Zhong summarized everything for Lin Xun.

His face was filled with unconcealable joy, and he couldn’t help but feel awe and admiration when he looked at Lin Xun.

In the past, he had always taken care of and supported Lin Xun as a junior.

But now, it was completely different. Lin Xun had fully demonstrated his power and might in the massacre last night.

Even he was astounded to learn that Lin Xun had defeated Lin Xixi.

After the initial shock, his mentality started to change.

He knew that the young master was already a great cultivator who could truly shoulder everything. His intelligence and skills were already superior and outstanding to his former master.

His young master had truly become the head of the Lin Clan! He was on an equal footing with any big shot in the Forbidden City!

“Uncle Zhong, sorry to trouble you for the time being. I have another request. Spare none of the clansmen who betrayed the clan back then! No matter who the traitor is, no matter how they beg for mercy, there is no room for negotiation!” Lin Xun’s black eyes glinted. Even if he sat there casually, he exuded an indescribable majesty.

Shuddering inwardly, Lin Zhong nodded. “Young Master, what do you plan to do with Lin Tianlong, Lin Nianshan and Lin Pingdu?”

The three were the leaders of the three collateral branches, but also the greatest traitors. More than ten years ago, they colluded with the Zuo and Qin Clans to split the Lin CLan’s wealth and properties.

“Imprison them in the Lin Clan’s ancestral land as guardians. They will be confined there for the rest of their lives to atone for their betrayal,” Lin Xun answered indifferently. “I want all the clansmen to always remember that those three are being punished for their betrayal, and they are the sinners of the Lin Clan. They must repent for the rest of their lives for the shame and damage they brought to the Lin Clan!”

Lin Zhong trembled inwardly, realizing that the punishment was worse than death to them!

“Of course, the innocent members of the three families should be treated equally and given the same treatment as the North Light Lin Clan. Also, those who performed well should be rewarded.”

Lin Xun murmured, “I don‘t want to see internal strife within the Lin Clan anymore. No matter what method we use, we must unite everyone and not allow them to continue to do things their own way.”

Lin Zhong nodded solemnly. “Mister Spirit Vulture made many plans and strategies before he went into closed-door cultivation. I believe we can resolve the internal trouble in our Lin Clan soon. We will rise and fall together and be bound together for good or ill. There will no longer be a distinction between what's ours and what’s theirs, and there won’t be any more signs of disintegration.”

The corners of Lin Xun’s lips curled upwards in a relieved smile. Spirit Vulture’s wisdom and strategy had amazed him again.

With that arrangement, Lin Xun felt completely relieved.

“By the way, don’t forget about the villagers of Feiyun Village.”

Lin Xun suddenly said, “If our Lin Family wants to rise in the future, we must take in more talents and build our strength. The villagers of Feiyun Village are our most reliable candidates. We must not treat them badly.”

Lin Zhong said with a smile, “Young Master, don’t worry.”

Lin Huaiyuan suddenly rushed in with some of the latest news.

He seemed to have recovered from the pain of losing his younger brother as his face was alight with unconcealable joy.

No wonder he was delighted, Lin Xun had only returned for a day, but the situation on Mind Cleansing Peak had changed tremendously.

Those powerful clans in the city came to visit them one after another, and some even came to apologize in person for making things difficult for Mind Cleansing Peak.

Even now, representatives of the major clans continued to gather outside the entrance of Mind Cleansing Peak.

Compared to its deserted and desolate state in the past, Mind Cleansing Peak seemed to have swept away its bad luck and regained a different ambience.

How would Lin Huaiyuan not be happy? The more prosperous and powerful Mind Cleansing Peak, the higher his status. In the future, he would enjoy all sorts of treatment and respect that he had never expected to receive.

It was much better than bowing his head to other people and being forced to give up the power of Mind Cleansing Peak.

However…

He felt a chill and indescribable awe in his heart when he looked at Lin Xun who was sitting on the main seat.

He knew very clearly about the bloody massacre that had happened in the three branches of the Lin Clan last night.

He had almost collapsed to the ground when he learned that almost all the higher-ups of the three branches were slaughtered and that even Lin Xixi was defeated.

His North Light Lin Clan was much less affected in comparison.

Fortunately, he had made the right decision to kneel in front of Lin Xun to ask for forgiveness back then and showed his determination with his actions.

However, after experiencing all those incidents, he no longer dared to treat Lin Xun as he did before. As he faced Lin Xun, he felt like a subject standing in front of the emperor, compelled to feel awe and admiration.

That was the might and power Lin Xun had forged.

Lin Xun might still be a junior based on the clan’s hierarchy, but he held the position of head of the Lin Clan and was in charge of Mind Cleansing Peak! Even if Lin Huaiyuan was his elder, he had to acknowledge allegiance!

Lin Xun didn’t utter a word and only nodded in response to Lin Huaiyuan’s report.

My nephew’s imposing bearing is getting stronger and stronger. Lin Huaiyuan couldn’t help but sigh.

“That’s right, there is one more thing that we need Patriarch’s advice with.” Lin Huaiyuan suddenly remembered something. “Of the properties controlled by the three collateral branches, some have already been occupied by the Zuo and Qin Clans. What do you think of this, Patriarch?”

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. “From last night to now, what sort of reaction had the Zuo Clan and the Qin Clan shown?”

Lin Huaiyuan and Lin Zhong shook their heads at the same time. They didn’t know whether the two high clans were too full of confidence or that they were unafraid of anything because the two high clans strangely hadn’t reacted to the earth-shaking changes.

Lin Xun smiled faintly, his black eyes growing colder. “It seems like they are planning to wait and see what happens, but unfortunately, I, Lin Xun, will not back down this time!”

“Uncle Zhong, please ask Third Old Zhu to bring some people together to reclaim the properties that the two clans had occupied. If anyone dared to cause obstruction, just kill them!” An order was issued casually but it was filled with murderous intent.

Lin Huaiyuan and Lin Zhong shuddered. He is going to directly tear the faces of the Zuo and Qin Clans, two high clans of the Forbidden City!
